Will this Porsche 912 engine run after sitting for 43 years (Part 7) 

All good. I think it's better rebuilt anyhow. Peace of mind. My 914's being rebuilt a.t.m. Bought the car knowing I really wanted to minimize getting stranded some place with no reception. I figured, most of my family's funds go toward bills and saving for a rainy day (thank God from the looks of where the economy is going now), and we try to tithe as well - not to the church administration, but for more direct ministry and needs (the way I understand it was really done in the Bible). So, I thank God He allowed me to get a car I can really enjoy driving through old age. A man only needs so many cars in his lifetime; if you've got the extra funds, why not pay the little extra so it doesn't break down on me and the fundamentals works like they should. All part of the fun of the journey.

Would have been so nice if the motor didn’t need a rebuild. Oh well, thanks Richard!

It happens! Thanks man and I definitely look forward to that. Thanks for the watching

Should have bought a Miata lol

I’m glad you laughed haha that was the goal

So true and is exactly why I had to buy this car when I saw it. So many of these cars got rotted out. The originality or this one is really special. Thanks for the comment I’m going to post a video tomorrow about the engine 👍

It's worse than you think. Replace it now and with every change of the oil.

Hahah ims is not as much of an issue as the internet makes it seem. 😅 to sleep well do the job when it needs a clutch..I think that’s when you do that

@@michaelgideon6422 Yes, I was joking. But, it's serious when it happens. $15-25k to get the engine rebuilt by a reputable shop.

@@nunyabusiness4188 😅😬

73 is ideal. Bring extra oil and drive it until it brakes! Might as well, hopefully I’ll see ya out there

@@michaelgideon6422 for sure, I will be attending hill country rally we in my 88 G50 coupe. All the best. See you on the road

Haha you know. My case is fine, my pistons and cylinders are bad. Good parts are out there 😎

@@michaelgideon6422 I was able to find a NIB set of NPRs. Now, to find a case, crankshaft, rods at a reasonable price.

@@nunyabusiness4188 I see complete engines come up from time to time. Recently I complete 912 engine sold for like six grand in my area which is pretty reasonable I think unless it’s blown up.

Video should have been titled..’the phone call from hell’

Haha 😵‍💫😆🥸

Hahaha I have a call in to the surgery center next week haha

I’d rather not share dollars and sense here on RU-vid. If you see me in person feel free to ask.

It’s not a company, check for David Pateman on pelican

I’m fortunate to have that car so I can drive my worries away

😆 Dude, that’s a genius idea!! Mustache men make things happen

C'MON you know it will be worth it in the end.

Haha 🥸👋

@@alangonzalez1061 totally will be worth it

No laughing Julio!! You know the rules

😂😂 sorry but that was funny 😂 I have a youthful 1983 SC so it’s only a matter of time before I feel your pain mate! Eventually you will have an awesome 912, onwards and upwards 👍👍

@@jamwok3121 the goal was to make people laugh. Might as well try since there is some truth and some people can relate. Thanks for watching!
